Liability

Liabilities are monetary obligations that a company may have that are payable to a third party. Employee wages and benefits, taxes, insurance, accounts payable, and any expenses incurred during normal operation are all examples of liabilities. To define liabilities, a business must account for all current and long-term debts, as well as money received in advance in exchange for future transactions.

Cash or cash equivalent transfers to the owned entity are used to settle liabilities. This liabilities definition is useful in completing balance sheets and company evaluations because it accounts for any expenses a business may incur.
